I never thought that much about watercress, that little green leaf generally reserved for salads and soup. Apparently some people think much more highly of it than I have. In fact, if you too would like to be a watercress buff, check out this site.You can find out all about the Watercress Alliance, the 200th anniversary of the first watercress farm in England, and the National Watercress Week and Festival in Alresford, Hampshire, England. There's even an anniversary cookbook to go along with everything. Also, there are 100 recipes featuring watercress on the website. I had to look twice at some of the health and nutrition claims, though.
This is a great resource site for anyone who is curious about watercress. I realize that it's site set up by watercress advocates, but it's easy to follow and very informative. Plus, all the recipes looked really good.
